BAUCHI AND PLATEAU: What's the connection?

Senator Kanti Bello started it this time. Following the latest round of hotilities on the Jos Plateau he tabled a motion in the Federal house of Reps where he is a member. He wanted the House to declare a state of emergency in Plateau State. The Bauchi State Assembly took his queue and passed a resolution calling for the same thing. Why is Bauchi so jealous of Plateau? It's because they Fulani jihadists of lost woefully in thier bid to colonise Jos as tey did Bauchi in the 18th Century. Since then, Bauchi has longed for the day Plateau wuld be annexed to them without a fight.For their information, it will never happen.

In 2009 alone, Bauchi winessed the worst religious violence, not once, but twice.
